a. The transmiIer sends out the radio waves and it travels through the air.
b. In a TV/radio sta9on, electrical signals travel through the antenna that act as a transmi(er and convert
it to radio waves.
c. Antenna that acts as a receiver captures the radio waves and turns them into electrical signals feeding
into radio or television or a telephone system and converts it into sounds that we hear or light that
enables us to see pictures and movements.
B. Radio waves transmission in cellphones
Cell phone - is essen9ally a two-way radio, consis9ng of a radio transmiIer and a radio receiver
II. Heat Me Up
Direc>on. Arrange the processes that describe the working principle of the microwave oven based on the
numbers in the diagram. Write the number on the space provided before each statement in the box.
__________ The microwaves hit the s9rrer and change its direc9on to enter the oven chamber.
__________ The transformer increases the input voltage.
__________ The water molecules on food absorb energy from the microwave causing it to vibrate more quickly.
The faster the molecules vibrate, the hoIer the food becomes causing the food to cook.
__________ Microwaves travel through the wave guide.
__________ Microwaves scaIer inside as it bounces off through the walls of the oven chamber.
__________ The microwave generator called magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet
__________ The magnetron converts the increased voltage to microwave.
